But when’s the last time you thanked the only person who actually dragged you through hell and back? YourSELF. This show is my love letter to the version of you who doesn’t get enough credit. The you who kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to be 48, building a skincare company, navigating perimenopause, raising a teenager, and refusing to become invisible. The stuff nobody talks about after 40. And how I’m rewriting all of it. Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes it’s founders, creatives, and icons who’ve rewritten everything too. Always, it’s the raw truth. Nothing filtered. Nothing softened. Nothing for show. Just the truth... and a drink. Every episode ends the same way: we raise a glass and say the thing most people are too humble to admit: I’d like to thank mySELF.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T04:17:56.264217+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-d-like-to-thank-myself-7665047"},"episode":{"title":"40 Is Not the New 20.

Where women over 40 come to look hot AF: https://www.cynthiagarcia.com/vanityclub Rewritten Beauty. The serum I built when I refused to disappear at 40: https://rewrittenbeauty.com A friend told me I was aging backwards at lunch and I took the compliment (obviously). But then something came out of my mouth I hadn't planned, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. This episode is about what \"you look 20\" actually means when you're 48, why we've been handed the wrong language for what's happening to women over 40, and why the real power isn't in defying age... it's in rewriting what age means entirely. In this episode, you'll discover: The thing I said at lunch that I didn't plan, and why I haven't stopped thinking about it What I was actually like at 20 (confident, broke, and washing my face with whatever was on sale) The hidden lie inside the best compliment women over 40 receive Why \"$1.3 million on my face\" was never about looking younger The quiet revolution happening right now with women who refuse to disappear What \"the new permission slip\" means and why it changes everything The one thing I want my daughter to never have to unlearn If you're a woman over 40 who has heard \"you look amazing for your age\" and felt both flattered and slightly insulted at the same time... this one's for you.
